Guns, guns, guns! Red Hood is coming to Injustice 2 in June! He's the first cab off the rank for Fighter Pack 1 and you can get a taste of things to come in the new spotlight trailer:
The Red Hood is Jason Todd: a character most famous for dying via fan-vote in a phone-in promotion to decide the ending of 1988's A Death In The Family.
Todd was first introduced to Batman comics in 1983, a replacement in waiting for aging Dick Grayson. The Boy Wonder was evolving into the maturing persona of Nightwing, seemingly necessitating the introduction of a new Robin. Over time, fans soured on the new sidekick, depicted as a brattier answer to his palatable predecessor. Given the chance, fans voted for his death by a few hundred calls, rendering him a victim of The Joker.
In 2003, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee first teased Todd's return from the grave in the storyline Hush. The truth was ambiguous, until a few years later Judd Winick oversaw the characters' permanent return to the DC Universe, the result of Infinite Crisis and the reality altering tantrum of a character called Superboy-Prime. Todd assumed the retired identity once used by his killer, becoming a rogue element in the crime wars of Gotham City. A bat brat for a bratty new generation.
Red Hood employs the training he received from Batman, applying it to a deadlier trade. His bright red helmet and body armor protect him from harm, while an arsenal of guns, grenades and hi-tech weapons compliment his combat training. As the trailer shows, these skills are put to effective use in Injustice 2!
Injustice 2 is available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Red Hood begins the Fighter Pack 1 downloadable content in June. Will you adopt his cause, or fight against it? Register to talk all things I2 on the DC Universe Injustice forum!
When NetherRealm Studios develops a new fighting game, they go through many iterations of ideas before arriving at a finished product. Artist Marco Nelor has peeled back the curtain on the process, showing fans his Injustice 2 concept art that includes unused hero Static!
Nelor is clearly in touch with mother nature, having worked on designs for plant-based characters Swamp Thing and Poison Ivy. His artwork reflects a deep exploration of their floral make-up, the artist remarking on one image, "Much about [plants] was learned that week."
The image that excited most fans -- [since removed by request of Warner Brothers] -- was that of electrically charged Teen Titan: Static. A character Nelor was personally disappointed to see cut from the final playable roster: "So sad about this one. He was all cleaned up and ready to go, but unfortunately Static didn't make the cut for #injustice2 ... damn. I had him all worked out too."
Shocker:Static as he appears in Injustice Mobile.
For fans of a certain age, Static will resonate more prominently as the star of millennial animated series Static Shock. Though the cartoon and comics crossed over with DC properties, Static was in fact a creation of Milestone Comics.
The early nineties independent media group forged a publishing deal with DC Comics, but their characters weren't absorbed into the DC Universe until 2009. Founded by such luminaries of comics and animation as Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, and with input from Christopher Priest; Milestone's original mission statement was to offer a broader cultural representation within the superhero comic genre.
Static was Virgil Hawkins: A high school aged student exposed to a an experimental chemical that gave him mastery over electromagnetism. He used his newfound powers to take up the responsibility of fighting crime in the city of Dakota. When Milestone was folded into DC, Static became a satellite fixture of the Teen Titans, and forged a relationship with electrically powered seventies hero Black Lightning. In 2015, Milestone announced a new publishing strategy that would disentangle the characters from the DCU.
Prior to Milestone's announcement, Static was included as an exclusive character in the Injustice Mobile game. That may not impact his presence in Injustice 2, but with Black Lightning headling to live-action TV, and Raiden teased in the Fighter Pack 1 DLC trailer -- the electrically charged crossover hero has a lot of competition!
On Mortal Kombat Online we're already celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the franchise in our annual Supreme Mortal Kombat Champion voting tournament. At this year's E3; series co-creator Ed Boon will weigh-in on the quarter century milestone appearing in the E3 Coliseum!
Update (June 14th):Boon will be live on the E3 Coliseum stage at 12:45pm to talk about the last two and a half decades of MK! Watch it as it happens right here via the embedded live stream below!
Boon will be a special guest of the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo in three weeks, joining Geoff Keighly in the E3 Coliseum to talk twenty-five years of Mortal Kombat, and probably a little Injustice, too!
Fans looking for major announcements may want to temper their expectations until there's actually blood in the water. Injustice Fighter Pack 1 is soon to deliver Sub-Zero to the DC Comics fighter, with Raiden teased to follow. With a lot still to come from Injustice -- just released last week -- it's a little soon to be anticipating anything new from Mortal Kombat.
The E3 Coliseum takes place June 13-14 and while we aren't counting on a new game, it's sure to be a great focus point for nostalgic celebrations! With a movie also in development [read more], there's still hope for something new to mark the anniversary! The event will stream live to Facebook.
